1/1.7" is a great sensor size. The Panasonic LX3, LX5 were legendary cameras using this sensor size. The image quality from such sensor size could be incredibly good. But I am a bit worried about the 18MP resolution. This means same size pixels as today's sensors. They should stay at 12MP for a real improvement.
